Using a Talking Strip to improve our communication skills.

Communication or talking skills are important to learn so that you can have a conversation with another person with confidence - here first Daniel, and then Cory, are trying out our Talking Strip. 

In Daniel's book he has made a Quick Talking Strip for talking about his news - it includes an introduction sentence,time, where, who with, what happened, how I felt about it...

Now he is sharing with his talking partner Daisy and she will listen and talk back. This video shows Daniel using his Talking Strip for the first time and he is doing really well with including different parts in his talking.

Here is Cory and he is using his talking strip to check his communication skills. The Talking Strip is a tool to help him if he needs a prompt. He doesn't need to ask Mrs Trembath for help because he has the Strip in front of him.
